Here's a song about my early relationship with a girl which was scuppered by her parents because i came from a piss poor family & they were'nt having any of it!..They actually were a family that was falling to pieces as the lyrics will tell you all..They were no better than us..in fact they were worse off than me in every sense of the word..It's a true story..please take my apologies for the very strong language in the song...but it's all true

Enjoyed that Mac. Goes to show how things can turn out. I'm sure you don't regret that situation now. :banana:

Definitely!..cheers Paul..next time i'm home do you fancy whacking some bass on for me?...Smoggysreunited.com..hehehe!:)

Thats a promise! Let me know when and we'll give it a go :banana:

Well your music just gets better and better . The thing that instantly caught my attention was the delayed Acoustic , or the way you played the second Guitar back a step . It really adds a very tasteful dimension . Top Marks !.

Its quite astounding how much you have come on Mac , and i know your time is always at a premium , im truly blown over by your compositions .

My only suggestion would be to have the last couple of words in each chorus appear smack in the centre of the mix , i think it would drive home those ending words and just sound clever .

Mac , well done you on what is clearly your best work so far :) :) :)

5ssssssssss

Cheers Art....i think thats what it needs when i play it back now!..Last week Francis Dunnery told me of the trick with "Doubling" a second guitar..all i did was copy/paste the original guitar to another stereo track..but the trick is..(he does this on his stuff as well)...you add a 30mil/sec delay to the new track you've pasted.sometimes the human hear can't really hear it ..it so subtle.. ..sometimes it creates the desired effect..i used a delay which i have'nt got to grips with at the mo ...i think i let it drag on a bit ..too much feedback... ..but it worked in a fashion!..I've sent it to Frank for his comments
...thanks for your input it's much appreciated!..I'm away for 2 weeks offshore tommorow & Paul i aint forgot about you!
Cheers

I bet she took it up the Uxbridge Road ??? :moon:

Great song by the way IMO the vox sounded too distant but ...whats her address again ???

I'd love to watch her reaction if she listened to this! Ha.

Lyrics are excellent - Chorus has a real hook.

When you gonna ask me to do the industrial sounding drums on that song about your Dad?

Thanks for your replies....Ahh...I forgot about that one Hans!...I'm away for 3 weeks at the mo.but i'll definitely get back to you!..I'm changing jobs at the mo so lifes a bit in the air..but i aint forgot your kind offer!..can't wait!
Many thanks
Mac

Superb stuff Mac!! Your a rocketship heading straight up!
Love your vocals, the guitarwork, the lyrical work, and the mixing skills you have developed. Very impressive!! :rock:

wow there you go again with another great composition, as I always tell ya I would buy a CD of your work...
what a story, :bowdown:

Thanks everyone for your kind replies...i think i have about 14ish songs ready to be mastered now..I'm gonna ask Arty (BP) if he'll oversee the final mixing etc as he's a genius at this stuff..I'll get Hans to do my "Industrial stuff" on the drums on one of the tracks & take it from there.I havent heard anything else from Francis Dunnery & Aquarian nation..but i wait in hope.A local folk singer called "Vin Garbutt" (BBC Radio 2's live act of the year 2007) has heard my stuff & is impressed as he does folk songs about our area in the same kinda vein..just put his name into "youtube" & have a butchers..different to me entirely but as a folk singer he is awesome....I've got 2 songs in the British songwriting comp of the year & the results are out in August...so fingers crossed i might get it onto CD yet!
many thanks & it's all down to Guitarblast & you people for the help,advice & positive comments

Yes but did she take it up the Uxbridge Road !!!!?????

hehheeeee......Uxbridge road?..more like Oxbridge!

I listened to this the other day but on the laptop speakers, and wanted to have a proper listen on can's before commenting ... then forgot :headscratch:
I really like the way you tell a story on your songs, and this was another good one. I too wonder what her reaction would be if she ever heard this :) Great stuff mate!

If i ever see her Steve...I'll nail her to the Fu**ing fridge!..heheheee..nahhh..Aint seen her for years & years..Still i hope she's now got herself sorted & has someone who loves her.....lifes too short

You are a true songwriting talent!!!!:bowdown: And your presentation of your songs are outstanding!!!!:jawdrop: You very much deserve to be signed!!!!

Cheers SG!...I live in hope!.
Cheers
Mac :)
